LeRoiArthus
Ernest Chausson was fascinated both by Arthurian legend and by the operas of Wagner. His only opera, set in 6th-century England, brings to life the tragic tale of King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round
Table - with its themes of illicit love, chivalry and magic. The superb cast and orchestra are conducted in this new studio recording by Leon Botstein. Presented by Stephanie Hughes with Roger Nichols.
Apollo Voices, BBC Symphony Orchestra, conductor Leon Botstein
